Location within the MTR system

Wu Kai Sha (Chinese: 烏溪沙) is the northeastern terminal station on the Ma On Shan Line of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system in Hong Kong. It is located between Sai Sha Road and Sha On Street in Wu Kai Sha, serving the many housing estates and schools nearby. The station was originally named "Lee On Station" when the Ma On Shan Line was under construction, because the station is located to the east of Lee On Estate.

The station will be the terminus of the under-construction East West Corridor.

Exit A is connected to a bridge over Sai Sha Road, and serves the Double Cove housing estate, Li Po Chun United World College, and the Wu Kai Sha village. Exit B serves the bus terminus next to the station, as well as the private housing estates of Monte Vista and Lake Silver, and is within walking distance to the housing estates of Lee On Estate and Kam Lung Court, as well as the Ma On Shan Ling Liang Primary School.

There is a bus terminus associated with the railway station, providing the interchange between the Ma On Shan Line and the following bus routes:
